How to Screenshot on Android Device

The procedure for taking screenshot may vary according to device, and software version. On most Android mobile phone or tablets, you can take a screenshot by pressing and holding shortcut button simultaneously.

Volume Down + Power button

Volume Down + Home button

Power + Home button

There’s a slight knack to this action, if you press the Power button too soon, the display will switch off, and by pressing volume down button too soon, you’ll end up changing the device audio settings. The screen will flash with a sound, and the “Saving Screenshot” notification will appear.

To view your screenshot, go to the Gallery app, then look for the “Screenshot” album. Tap it to open it, then tap the screenshot you took to view that screenshot.

You can also tap a screenshot in the notification drawer to directly open it in the Gallery app. From here, you can preview it, crop it, share it to another app, or delete it.

You can also use third party apps to take screenshot on Android mobile phone or tablets. Super Screenshot is free to use and doesn’t include ads, and easy to use. This app also include features like crop your screenshot before it save to memory, add text notes, scribble on them and resize your snaps.
